The HP Jedi is going to be a $300 palmtop with Geos and a keyboard and a
386 clone cpu, or so the rumor goes. Since it's from HP you can expect it
to be pretty good, in my opinion.

I bought my Zoomer for $299. But I don't feel ripped off. I knew about
the Jedi when I bought it. I saw it. I liked it. I bought it. Now that
I've used it a little I don't like it as much as I thought I did, but it's
ok. I don't feel ripped off at all. If I want a Jedi, I'll save my money
and get one.

When is the right time to stop waiting for that next huge improvement and
price decrease that's just around the corner? When it gets here you
already know about that next huge improvement and price decrease that's
just around the corner. The best deal is just keep waiting till you die.
Look at all the money you'll save.
